How does Alé help Kiara and other needy families in the neighborhood in the novel, Nightcrawling?

Alé often supplies Kiara and Trevor with food from the restaurant, which Kiara depends on because she is living in poverty. She also gives food away to other needy families in the area, "letting them into the back entrance of the taquería and sending them out with bags of food she made with her own hands" (68).
